Application filed September 25, 1907.

fuel, one has for its object a. process for the manufacture of a fuel in the nature of coke from any quality cool W i 01" the neme. l lo special plant i needles. for carrying out the process, some being conducted generally in ordinary retorts es nsecl in gas insnufzict-ure, or in coke ovens. Jolie seicl process consists in treating engine slack, or coke with certain chemicals in certain proportions. ll ith to the treetni .n'; of cool with VlGW e fuel in. nature ofeolite, in found theta certain qualities off o- .l

have h .erto been useless for may he treated, end turned into coke.

to protluce the from coal for one charge of e I. is, soy in gas making, such charge usual leeing 3 eWt. e solution with say gallons of WELlIGE, of 3 oz. of chlorate of potash, oz. of saltpeter, end l l dram of permanganate of potash, l of chlorid'of lime, anti a smell percentage of ordinary lime may he used, the total Weight of chemicals on. average cool being about 6 oz. to 3 ewt. of cool. The solution is sproyecl. over into the coal, and the cool then pie-coo. in the retort anti treated, es in the ordinary proeess of gas manufacture. When it is desired to reeks coke in eolze ovens, the some process is cerried out, the treetetl coal being goloce. in

been

the ovens in the ordinary manner. These processes give the best result, out fuel of a. freely burning and procticell s seize-less nature may result from treating or spraying coke as made in any or iinery process.

The resultant fuel be used in orclinary househol grates, and with great ad vantage in hlocksmiths heorths, as clean welds may he made, and the metal will be found not to warp during" heetin The fuel oloes not reeily clinker, erul the percentage ssh remaining from o. fire of the fuel will he found to be exceeclingly smell, and the deleterious gases given oil from ordinary coke Will he prectieeily nonexistent.

The aclclition of the chemicals to a burning fire has rather a ten ieney to extinguish some. i fimi the best result is obtained by treating the coal before eorhonizetion as hereinbei'fore described.

It will understooti that with varying qualities seal, the quantities oi chemicals 1 vary somewhat, those quantities given being for average cool.

What I o 'm as my invention is The iin roved process oi treating coal in gas nisnu'lioosure which consists in ozicling thereto before heat is applied, chlorete of potash, permanganate of potash, ehloricl of .e, and ssltpeter, substantially theproportions of 3 oz. of chlorete of potesh, 1-,; oz, of seltpeter, {-1 dram of permanganate potash oz. chloricl of lime to 3 owt. of coal, enci finally heating the mixture in oclosecl retort so that the gases may he actefi upon by the ehemicels.

in wi ness whereof, 1 have hereunto set an; hand, in the presence of? two Witnesses.
